My last class finished at nine p.m. Just after I got out of the school campus, my phone beeped.A message from Mr. Anonymous came. It states about the address of his condo and the whereabouts of his key and the passcode.He also said that he will be home during the dawn.I wonder what he is still doing at this hour. Maybe he is doing his monkey business again.As long as he won’t be there while I clean, I’m safe. And anyways, why would he want me to clean his condo at this hour?I received no answer so I just hailed a taxi and told the driver the address.“Do you live in that building, ma’am?” The old man who’s driving asked.“No, someone I know lives there.” I replied and smiled.He nodded his head. “Ahh! I was just wondering. I thought you were the one who lived there.”“Uhm… Why did you ask though?”“Well, people who live in that place mostly prefer to use their own luxury cars rather than riding a cheap taxi. I misunderstood you.” He then followed with a short laugh.“Ahh! Well, I
JUANCHO'S P.O.VFour thirty a.m, I looked at the time on my watch. I opened the door of my condo using my own key. When the door opened, the lights didn't automatically open since someone came here before me.I locked the door and roamed my eyes around. Everything was shining clean and it smelled sweet vanilla in here.A smile formed on my lips. She didn't disappoint me. A job well done.I removed my suit and lifted up the sleeves of my top clothes. I then looked for her.I stopped when I found her peacefully sleeping on the couch while using his hands as a pillow. I didn't make any noise.I bent down in front of her and stared at his innocent features. She looks like an angel to my eyes.I gently stroke her face. She has always been so beautifully innocent in my eyes. I unconsciously kissed her forehead and stared at her again.I could stare at her forever.But, lately, she was being harsh with me. She acts as if she doesn't remember anything about me. Well, she does that often to me
I watched his every movement while he cooked. His movements have precision. It was as if he was a professional chef.Although, I still can’t figure out what he was cooking. He used some fruits and vegetables as ingredients. And, it smells so good that I could hear my stomach gurgling, wanting to take a taste.My eyes shifted to the open cooking pot with boiling water.Juancho took a ladle and took a sip of the soup. He scooped another more and took a step towards me.“Here, take a taste.” He said as he offered the soup.I slowly took a sip. The sweet and sour taste of the soup went through my throat with gentleness. It tasted so good.A smile formed my lips.“How was it?” He asked, smiling from ear to ear.“It tastes perfect.” I said. “How did you do that?”He smiled and stood confidently. “You’re talking to an expert.” He replied.I almost rolled my eyes at how arrogant he sounded.“Good for you then. At least, even if you get shot by a bullet, you wouldn’t die because you can cook.
I am silently walking on the road side while getting lost in thoughts. I just finished my class and it was almost ten at night.When will I ever have a good night's sleep in my life?Since I entered the hellish college life, I never got to experience eight hours of sleep again. The longest sleep I could get was only four hours.I wanted to sleep so bad already, but I just can't. I still need to go directly to work right now. I still had a seven hour shift to fill in for tonight until tomorrow. And I needed to add two hours of overtime for extra money.I need to buy a lot of things for our school projects so I need to work my ass off.My workplace was only ten minutes away from my school. When I entered the back door, I saw my other co-workers getting themselves ready to work tonight."Good evening, Rica. Hurry your ass, our shift will start in ten minutes." One of my co-workers slash schoolmate said.I just forcedly smiled at her and went to my own locker. I grabbed from my backpack m
After I woke up, I went straight to the bathroom to take a bath. After I finished, I went out and saw Alliyah looking at herself in the mirror, specifically the bruise on her lower lip."You look like a mess, girl. Go take a shower. We will be late for school." I said and took my outfit for today. There's no dress code at our school."Did you do this to me?" She asked which made me turn to her. She's pointing at the small band aid on her lower lip.I nodded my head. "I did. You were too tired to notice. You really need to hurry now. You know pretty well we can't afford taxi fare and so all we could do is to walk on our way to school." I said and continued what I was doing.She just shrugged her shoulders and prepared her clothes for school.I put on my clothes, brushed my hair, tied in a bun and put some light makeup on my face since I looked really pale from not having enough sleep.I then put on my grey sneakers and my backpack."I'll be downstairs!" I shouted to inform Alliyah."Ok
“By the way, what happened to you last night? Who was that guy?” I asked, changing our topic.She let out a deep breath before she drank water from her tumbler.“I met him at the club, obviously. He was nice at first. He actually saved me from a group of men who tried doing something not so good with me. He literally got into a fight because of me.” She answered.“Then, why did you run away and why did he look desperate to see you last night? He went crazy destroying the things from the restaurant.”“Well, like I said, he was nice at first. Not until he tried kissing me and when I fought back, he tried forcing me, so I kicked his balls and ran.”My face wrinkled. “That was a bad move of you.” I laughed. “Was he the one who gave you that bruise on your lip?”She shook her head. “Nope. This was from the guy who he had a fight with.”"Why would you kick him though?! He helped you like a real hero." I said while still laughing."He was aggressive. Another reason is, he is a freaking mafi
“Anyways, let’s talk about something else to pass the time. We still have twenty minutes of free time.” She changed our topic.“What do you want to talk about?” I asked, feeling bored.We usually talk nonsense in our free time.She held her chin as if she’s thinking. “Hmm… How about your sex life?” She then followed with a dirty smirk.I rolled my eyes at her. Here she goes again, with that dirty mind of hers.“I don’t have a sex life. Like what you always said, I am a boring b*tch and that means no one’s gonna be interested in me. And guess what? You’re right. And it is better that way. My life is so peaceful I could hear my own breath. You’re the one whose eighty percent showing off the skin on your body. We should be talking about your sex life instead. How about that?” I replied.“Well, just because I am showing off too much skin from my body doesn’t mean I am also a f*ck girl. I also have a taste, you know. Even though someone like me is considered as slut or gross, I also prefer
I am already here, anyway. I might as well do something that could compensate for me skipping work and paying for the taxi fare.After a few seconds of silently walking, I made it to the back. I saw a back door opened and it was slightly open. I could see the light coming from the inside.So, I guess, there’s still someone inside.The back place was so silent. I could barely hear the horn coming from the cars passing by on the front of the cafe.I could hear faint voices of people talking.I made my way near the exit door. I peaked and eavesdropped on the corner so I could hear them."We don't offer low quality guns, that is why we sell them at a bigger price as compensation for my people's hard work, and for me as well." Said by a manly and deep voice. For some reason, it sounded familiar to my ears."I didn't get a discount?" Another man said. It sounded like an old man.Guns? The heck? What are they talking about? Do they mean water guns or toy guns?Please, God, tell me I am not s
